Question: The forums seem to be really slow? How do I make them faster?

Las Vegas Advisor Messages
Answer: The most common reason for slowness is the images people use in their posts.

edit] MediaWiki is slow, how can I make it faster?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
First you should try a PHP cache engine such as eAccelerator or APC. It will save the parsed PHP scripts and enhance performance a lot (this is something you should use anyway on any PHP installation with non-trivial traffic). Zend Platform also contains a bytecode cache, however its "dynamic content caching" is not supported in MediaWiki at the current time. Memcached will provide some performance benefit, especially for heavily viewed sites.

StarLogo TNG loads on my computer but it is really slow. How can I make it go faster?

StarLogo TNG FAQ
Most older "integrated"graphics chipsets don't work very well with OpenGL. You can first try to upgrade your graphics drivers from your computer or video card manufacturer. If that doesn't work, you can upgrade your graphics card. We have had reasonable success with GeForce 5200 graphics cards that sell for less than $50. Also make sure you are using Preview 3 or later, as there have been significant speed increases since the initial preview.

Inserting and updating records is really slow. Can't it go any faster?

Mckoi SQL Database - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The insert and update operations are actually very fast, however during large batches of database changes most of the work is spent managing transaction and index changes. One way to improve insert and update performance is to turn auto-commit off (it is on by default) and committing the entire batch of insert/update operations in one go. Using this strategy there will be less overhead for index/transaction maintenance and all transaction data is flushed to disk in a single disk write.

Will Sports Massage really make me stronger or faster, or increase my performance?

Sports Massage breaks down muscle adhesions, relieves knots, increases range of motion, decreases pain, increases circulation, stretches tight muscles, reduces stiffness and generally reduces the negative after effects of hard training. This means you can train harder than you ever have before.

You website loads VERY slow! Is there a way I can make things load faster?

Dominonline.net
Unfortunately, I designed this website with broadband (cable, dsl) users in mind. If you are experiencing slow speeds when you access this site on dialup, then there is nothing I can suggest to you. If you are experiencing slowness on a broadband connection, try coming back to the website later, as the slow speeds could be due to my hosting service. :)

Question: Are they faster?

FAQs Recumbent Cycles of Utah
The answer is: "maybe". There are so many factors involved; how long you've been riding, how long you've trained on the recumbent, style and weight of the bike, topography - hilly, mountainous, flat. Since the biggest factor limiting speed is aerodynamic drag, if you want to go really fast, use a recumbent with a well-designed fairing or a full body. In this case, the answer is YES, they are faster.

Clipping should only make things faster, right?

Frequently Asked Questions
The cairo_clip function can be used for two different operations. The first is to restrict the set of pixels that need to be updated, (imagine needing to draw only half of a window that was just uncovered by another window). While the second is to modify what is being drawn with some non-pixel-aligned shape (imagine a circular clip path, for example). These two uses result in very different code paths inside cairo and in the underlying window system.

Frequently Asked Questions
gt;>> A. All scooters can be made to go faster. First, it's critical to know if your scooter has a 2- stroke or 4-stroke engine. By their very nature, 2-stroke engines are much easier to modify for greater power and speed than are 4-stroke engines, though the basic concepts to increasing speed on any scooter are the same. Essentially, you need to improve fuel, air and exhaust flow.

General Questions Q50 How do I make VNC go faster?

VNC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We find VNC to be perfectly acceptable as our normal method of accessing Unix desktops on a daily basis. This is over a 10 Mbit/s ethernet on reasonably modern machines, using the X or Win32 viewer. Because Windows gives us fewer hints about what it's doing, and because we don't have the source code for Windows in the same way that we do for X, the WinVNC server has to work harder to find out what's changed, and so a really fast machine should make a big speed difference.
